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 8
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 10
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.

☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 8

In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.

In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.

The tightest aspects

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.24°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
