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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 11
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 wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 6 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.25°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.44°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.34°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.99°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
