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 1

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

  2. 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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 2

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 1

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In bearing and first impression.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 8

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

    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 11

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 9

    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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    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 Virgo · house 10

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 10

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.00°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.08°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 0.08°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Chiron Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.53°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Mars · conjunction, orb 0.76°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.73°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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