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 Leo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
