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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 4 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.33°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.68°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.78°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
