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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.02°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.04°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.81°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.83°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.68°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
