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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.09°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.66°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.91°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.43°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
