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 Aries · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.36°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.81°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.80°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 1.49°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
