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 Aries · house 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 9 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.08°
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.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.40°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.66°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.42°
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.
♄ Saturn ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.99°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
