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 Capricorn · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ 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 Libra · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.59°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.50°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.77°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.83°
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.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.76°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
