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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.36°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.48°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.89°
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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.02°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.44°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
