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 Aquarius · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 7 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.07°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.22°
