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 Capricorn · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 3 ℞
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.33°
