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 Pisces · house 10
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.12°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.41°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.59°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.42°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.18°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 2.10°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
