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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
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 Leo · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.30°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.28°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.18°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
