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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.17°

♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.50°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.37°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.68°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.16°
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.
