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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.30°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.36°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.70°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.99°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 · square, orb 1.11°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.43°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
