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
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 Virgo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 3 ℞
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.16°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.42°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.11°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.34°
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.
♀ Venus △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
