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 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 4
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.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.03°

♇ Pluto ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.07°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.16°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
