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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

☉ Sun △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.43°
