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 Libra · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 8
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 the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.19°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

♅ Uranus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.14°
