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 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 9
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 far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
