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 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.07°
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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.11°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.75°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.80°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
