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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.09°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.23°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.22°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.75°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
