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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.23°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.96°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.40°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.83°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
