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 3
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ 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 Sagittarius · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9 ℞
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
