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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.01°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.14°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.50°
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.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.46°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.71°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.06°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
