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 Aquarius · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.82°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.91°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.45°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
