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 Virgo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.15°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.29°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.48°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.71°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.77°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
