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 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 11 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 1
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 bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.

In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Capricorn · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ 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 Leo · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.08°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.10°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.13°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.39°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.52°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.43°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
