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 Gemini · house 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.01°
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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.19°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.51°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.86°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.00°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
