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.

1. ☉ Sun in Capricorn · house 7

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

2. ☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

3. ☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

4. ♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

5. ♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 4

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

7. ♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 8

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

8. ♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 7

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   Across the table, wherever there is another party.

9. ♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 7

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

   In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

10. ♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

11. ☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 3 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

The tightest aspects

1. ☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.46°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

2. ☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.47°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.03°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

4. ☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.99°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ☉ Sun ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.46°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

6. ♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.14°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
