A
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
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 1
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.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 7
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.20°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.76°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.72°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.83°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.64°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
