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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.50°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.61°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.38°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.42°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
