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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 9
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.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.24°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.22°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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 ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.44°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.66°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.82°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.85°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
