AAReading
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 Scorpio · house 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 10 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 3 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.72°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.83°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.36°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.42°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.03°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
