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 Capricorn · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.21°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.37°
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 ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.22°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
