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 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 2
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.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ 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.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the public record of a life.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.05°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.17°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.42°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.80°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.11°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
