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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.04°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.12°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.28°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.54°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.74°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.66°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
