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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 10
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.06°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.19°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.46°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.59°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.76°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.93°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
