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
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
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 Scorpio · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.22°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.44°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.58°
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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.08°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.63°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
