Varlin (painter)
AAReading
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 Pisces · house 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.00°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 0.24°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.18°
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.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.24°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.28°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.34°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
