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 Aquarius · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.14°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.56°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.62°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.59°
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.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.77°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
