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 Leo · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
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 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.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.19°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.36°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.51°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.64°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.58°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
