A
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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1
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 bearing and first impression.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.74°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.70°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.18°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
