AReading
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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 4 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.52°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.52°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.42°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 1.00°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.39°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
