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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2 ℞
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.31°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.75°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.36°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.02°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 2.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 2.79°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
