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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 6
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 routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.29°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
