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 Scorpio · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 1
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 bearing and first impression.
♀ 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 Sagittarius · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.33°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.31°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.70°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.77°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.24°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
