Louis Marin (philosopher)
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 Gemini · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.15°
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.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.36°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.64°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.74°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.80°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.13°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
