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 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.15°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.61°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.26°
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.
♂ Mars ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 2.42°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
