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 Aquarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the public record of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.02°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.57°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.57°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.58°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
