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 Gemini · house 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.05°
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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.16°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived 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 · trine, orb 0.21°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.30°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.51°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
