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
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 Virgo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 4 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 6 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.13°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.67°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.30°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.78°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
