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 Cancer · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
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 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 Libra · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5
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.
⚸ 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
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.39°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.37°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.66°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 2.19°
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.
