Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma
A
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 Sagittarius · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
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 Scorpio · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.39°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.69°
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.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.52°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.80°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.31°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.03°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
