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 Gemini · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 8
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.08°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.34°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.68°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.84°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.97°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
