A
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 Scorpio · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
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.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.30°
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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.57°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.77°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.57°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.34°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.27°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
