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 Aquarius · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.08°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.34°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.40°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.90°
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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.80°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.03°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
