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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10 ℞
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
