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 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.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, 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.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.67°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.83°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♅ Uranus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.23°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.21°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.20°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
