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 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7
Where you want more room.
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 Taurus · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.06°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.18°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.42°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.74°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.50°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.43°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
