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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ 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 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
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 Aquarius · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
