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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.06°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.16°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.42°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.59°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.61°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.65°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
