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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 11
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 the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 10
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.45°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.67°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.20°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♆ Neptune ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.17°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.14°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.09°
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.
