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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ 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 Sagittarius · house 9
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.04°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.22°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.39°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.77°
The pull toward what has no edges 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 ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.43°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
