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 10
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 Scorpio · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 4 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.28°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.76°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.92°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.97°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.42°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 2.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
