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 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.06°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.31°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.60°
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.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.69°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.26°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
