Reading
Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.
☉ Sun in Aries · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.45°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.46°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.62°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.59°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.27°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
