AReading
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 Sagittarius · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ 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 Libra · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.01°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.73°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.22°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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.
