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 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ 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 Cancer · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
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 Aquarius · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.20°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.21°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.32°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.41°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
