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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.02°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.30°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.49°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.57°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
