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
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
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 Libra · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.03°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.69°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.54°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.28°
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.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.87°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
