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 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 4
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.78°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.81°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.73°
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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.78°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.59°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
