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
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 Sagittarius · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
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 is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.06°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.56°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.48°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 2.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.91°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 2.17°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
