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 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.01°
