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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.42°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.52°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.33°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.55°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.85°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
