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.

  1. Sun in Scorpio · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the public record of a life.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Pluto · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.12°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Jupiter Neptune · trine, orb 0.29°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  4. Mars AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  5. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.33°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 0.89°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
