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
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.38°
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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.72°
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.
☉ Sun ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.03°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.61°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.30°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
