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 Capricorn · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4 ℞
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.
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 Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the public record of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.79°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.81°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.21°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.96°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.69°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.32°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
