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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.58°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.66°
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.

☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.51°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.90°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
