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
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
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 Leo · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.61°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.79°
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.
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.81°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.39°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.90°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
