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 Virgo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
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 Gemini · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.57°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.56°
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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.73°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.19°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.05°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
