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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.99°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.80°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.24°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.18°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
