Long Chris
AAReading
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 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ 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 independently, and slightly against the grain.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3 ℞
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.31°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.86°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.09°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.36°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.10°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
