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 7
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 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 Sagittarius · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.36°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.60°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.55°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.84°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.28°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
