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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ 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 quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 2 ℞
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.29°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.25°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.65°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.63°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.94°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
