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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.15°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.46°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.41°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
