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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, 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.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.53°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.83°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.51°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.76°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.95°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
