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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.26°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.16°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.96°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.78°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.43°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 2.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
