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 Sagittarius · house 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.64°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.86°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.87°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.98°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 3.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
