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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.54°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.48°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.61°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.83°

☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.18°
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.
