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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ 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 Gemini · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ 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 expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
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 by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.26°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.32°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.27°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.34°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.54°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.69°
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.
