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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ 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 Aries · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the public record of a life.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.69°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.18°
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.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.16°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
