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 Sagittarius · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.05°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.21°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.27°
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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.39°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.51°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.57°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
