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 Pisces · house 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the daily traffic of information.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.32°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.90°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.92°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.64°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
