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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 3
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 the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.01°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.24°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.38°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.39°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.70°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public 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 0.62°
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.
