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 Scorpio · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.14°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.27°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.41°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.72°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.96°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.33°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
