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 Aries · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 9
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.10°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.31°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.43°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 2.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 2.08°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 2.87°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
