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 Scorpio · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.35°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.62°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.79°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.06°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.24°
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.
