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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.35°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.32°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.66°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.66°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
