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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ 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 Aquarius · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ 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 Pisces · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.14°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.35°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.44°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.75°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.00°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
