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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.19°
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.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.28°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.48°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.43°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.35°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
