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 Scorpio · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.22°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.61°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.33°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.20°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.47°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.82°
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.
