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.

1. ☉ Sun in Sagittarius · house 3

   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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

2. ☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 3

   What makes you feel safe.

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

   In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

3. ☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

   How you think, and how you say it.

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

4. ♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4

   What you like, and how you go about liking it.

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

5. ♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 3

   How you go after what you want.

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4

   Where you want more room.

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

7. ♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 4

   The strict teacher you thank later.

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

8. ♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3

   The urge to break something that still works.

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

   In the daily traffic of information.

9. ♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 9 ℞

   Where the edges go soft.

   The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2 ℞

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 3

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
