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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 11
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.79°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.93°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.09°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.00°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
