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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ 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 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 4
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.17°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.30°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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 ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.50°
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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.67°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.62°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
