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 Gemini · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 7 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.54°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.59°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.72°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.86°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.07°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
