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 Gemini · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.05°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.17°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.55°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
