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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1
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 bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.56°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.93°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.16°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☽ Moon ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.81°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
