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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.26°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.49°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.43°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.82°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.98°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
