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 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 8
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 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.06°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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 ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.68°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.76°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.88°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
