Prince Joachim of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este
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 Sagittarius · house 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.31°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.34°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.00°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.11°

The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.51°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
