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 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.34°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.56°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.78°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.24°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.40°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
