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 Aquarius · house 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.07°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.35°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.81°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.01°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
