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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ 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 Aries · house 10
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the public record of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.06°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.15°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.23°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.33°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.38°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.51°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
