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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 10
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the public record of a life.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.38°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.74°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.07°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.62°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
