A
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 Aquarius · house 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ 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 Aries · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.34°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.64°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.97°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.71°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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 ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
