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 Pisces · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 9 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.33°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.45°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 0.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.62°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.83°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.82°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
