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 Aries · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.01°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.34°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.28°

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.38°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
