AReading
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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 11
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.19°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.61°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.65°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.75°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 1.38°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
