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 Sagittarius · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ 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 Aries · house 8 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.25°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.20°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.35°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.60°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.48°
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.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.73°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
