Jim Lovell (astronaut)
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 Aries · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ 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 by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the daily traffic of information.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.97°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.98°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.69°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.41°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.97°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.64°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
