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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.51°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.69°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.72°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.52°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.77°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
