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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
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 near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.32°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.45°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 1.07°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.54°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.07°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
