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 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.27°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.17°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.43°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.54°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.82°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.61°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
