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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.03°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.09°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.28°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.58°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.69°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.78°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
