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 Aquarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.20°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.40°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.39°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.71°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
