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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ 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 expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the public record of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 10
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.39°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.42°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.06°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
