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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
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
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 top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the public record of a life.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.38°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.70°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.48°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.58°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
