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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 8
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.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 8
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.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2 ℞
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.44°

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.95°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
