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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.03°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.32°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.47°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.50°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.66°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
