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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.24°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.18°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
