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 Pisces · house 8
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 8 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 8 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.

♂ Mars in Leo · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.

♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
