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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
