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 Sagittarius · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ 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 by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ 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 Aries · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

In the daily traffic of information.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Libra · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
