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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.33°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.60°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.15°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.02°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
