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
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 Taurus · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.18°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.21°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.43°
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.
♂ Mars ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.72°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.92°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.03°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
