A
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 Aquarius · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the public record of a life.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.23°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.57°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.80°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.87°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
