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 Gemini · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 4 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 12
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 Taurus · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.05°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.03°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.08°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.20°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.30°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.74°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
