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 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ 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 by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.18°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.37°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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 △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.45°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.92°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
