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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 8
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.40°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.92°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.96°
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.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.10°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.87°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
