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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.12°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.27°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.29°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.72°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.77°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
