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 Sagittarius · house 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 11
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.11°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ☽ Moon · square, orb 0.94°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.98°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.31°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
