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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
