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 Pisces · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 7
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.34°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.85°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.56°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.96°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.78°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
