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 Capricorn · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ 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 Virgo · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the public record of a life.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.88°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.94°
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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 1.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.66°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
