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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.28°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.95°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

☉ Sun ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.11°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
