AAReading
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 Taurus · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.30°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.64°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.02°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.62°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
