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 Aries · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.09°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.14°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.58°
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.
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.29°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
