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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ 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 by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.43°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.94°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.92°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.46°
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.
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.60°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.98°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
