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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.34°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.26°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 2.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 2.71°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.90°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
