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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.07°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.47°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.76°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 2.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
