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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.04°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.66°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.66°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.79°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
