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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
