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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.66°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.67°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.50°
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.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.77°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.84°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.31°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
