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 Sagittarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.80°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.99°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.48°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 2.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
