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 Taurus · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.30°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.72°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.24°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.54°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.77°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.77°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
