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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.36°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.98°
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 ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.78°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.34°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.69°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
