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 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 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8
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 joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.00°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.30°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.81°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
