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 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.64°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.57°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.84°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.50°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 2.77°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
