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 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 Aries · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ 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 Gemini · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.52°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.66°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.54°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.86°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.93°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 2.10°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
