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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 9 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.45°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.45°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.51°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.02°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.80°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
