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 Aries · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 4 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.07°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.24°
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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.51°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.91°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.14°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.15°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
