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
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.21°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.18°
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.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.54°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.52°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.49°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.09°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
