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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.20°
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.
♅ Uranus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.46°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.68°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.60°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 1.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.44°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
