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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 0.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.33°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.62°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.54°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.87°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.34°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
