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
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 Taurus · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 6 ℞
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 Sagittarius · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.44°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.84°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.36°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.61°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.73°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
