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
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 Cancer · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8
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 Scorpio · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.17°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.71°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.91°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 1.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.88°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
