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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.27°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.56°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.75°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.96°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
