AReading
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 Aquarius · house 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.23°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.21°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.29°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 2.23°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
