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
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 Capricorn · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
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 Aquarius · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.10°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.85°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.79°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
