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.

  1. Sun in Scorpio · house 2

    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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

    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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 1

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 10

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 10

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 8

    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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 12

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 9

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.28°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Saturn · trine, orb 0.44°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. Moon Mars · square, orb 0.49°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  4. Uranus Chiron · trine, orb 0.45°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  5. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 0.52°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  6. Pluto Lilith · square, orb 0.63°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
