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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
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.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.46°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.60°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.80°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.

♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.62°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
