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 Sagittarius · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 12 ℞
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.33°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.40°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.51°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.87°
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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.63°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 2.43°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
