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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.21°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.24°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.32°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.45°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
