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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ 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 patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♀ Venus · opposition, orb 0.51°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.76°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.78°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
