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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
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.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 10
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.13°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.40°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.44°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.53°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.79°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
