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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 10
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
