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 Aries · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.20°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.46°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.55°
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.
☉ Sun ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.84°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚸ Lilith ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.90°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.39°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
