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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.12°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.39°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.79°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.11°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.19°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
