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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.05°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.21°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.27°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.40°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.62°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
