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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
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 Sagittarius · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5
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.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.40°
