A
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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 3
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ 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
♀ Venus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.18°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♇ Pluto ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.14°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.25°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.43°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.47°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
