AAReading
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 Cancer · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.08°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.15°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.23°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♇ Pluto ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.36°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.54°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.73°
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.
