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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
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.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7 ℞
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 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 11
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.08°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.11°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.98°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.54°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.76°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.69°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
