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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.07°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.11°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.18°
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.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.67°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.49°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
