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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.07°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.03°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 2.12°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 2.40°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
