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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 2 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.20°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.71°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.52°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.68°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.33°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
