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 Capricorn · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ 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 Aquarius · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.07°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.53°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.87°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.83°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.06°
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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
