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 Virgo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ 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 Leo · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.54°
