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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.22°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.48°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.65°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.20°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.53°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.59°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
