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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.01°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.39°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.83°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.13°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
