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 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
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.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 10
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
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 at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.77°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.05°
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.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.78°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.29°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♄ Saturn △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.48°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
