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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.18°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.46°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 · conjunction, orb 0.60°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.64°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
