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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.34°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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 ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.32°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.55°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.58°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.43°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.68°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
