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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.01°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.73°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.93°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
