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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

♆ Neptune in Libra · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.40°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.61°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.52°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.86°

♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.24°
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.
