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 Aquarius · house 9
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 Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 3 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.57°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.69°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.30°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.24°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.46°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
