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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 6
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.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.41°
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.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.44°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.90°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.70°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
