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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5 ℞
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.42°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.61°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☽ Moon △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.47°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
