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 Pisces · house 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

☽ Moon ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.21°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
