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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 7 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.34°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.43°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.31°
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.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.65°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.95°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
