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 Virgo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

In the daily traffic of information.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
