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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.03°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.35°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.93°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.18°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
