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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.14°

♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.34°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.55°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
