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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ 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 by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 7
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.32°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♆ Neptune ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.44°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.92°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.76°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.82°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.83°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
