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 Scorpio · house 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.33°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.07°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.40°
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.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.69°
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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
