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 Aquarius · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.06°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.22°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.04°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 2.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.72°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
