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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 12 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.97°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.97°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.04°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.80°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
