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 Capricorn · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
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 at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.13°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.61°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.95°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.72°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
