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 Capricorn · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.01°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.15°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.31°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.30°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.70°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.63°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
