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 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ 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 Sagittarius · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.41°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.80°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.39°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.34°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.08°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
