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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.42°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.30°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.96°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.34°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
