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
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11
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 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.20°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.77°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.89°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.22°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.58°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.97°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
