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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.77°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.92°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.60°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.75°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 2.25°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.54°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
