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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.65°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.44°
