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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
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 the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.24°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.30°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☉ Sun ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.54°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.70°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.98°
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.
