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.

  1. Sun in Scorpio · house 5

    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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 5

    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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 5

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 6

    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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 8

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 5

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 9

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.14°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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.

  2. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.60°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Uranus Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.91°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Chiron Lilith · opposition, orb 0.81°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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.

  5. Lilith MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.95°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  6. Venus Saturn · square, orb 1.10°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
