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 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 10 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
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 the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.13°
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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.37°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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 0.55°
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.
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
