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
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 Libra · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.06°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.44°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.68°
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.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.04°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.40°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 2.25°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
