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.

1. ☉ Sun in Scorpio · house 7

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

2. ☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

3. ☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 8

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

4. ♀ 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.

5. ♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 8

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

   In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   Across the table, wherever there is another party.

7. ♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

8. ♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

   Where things are held in common, and where they end.

9. ♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 3 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

The tightest aspects

1. ♄ Saturn ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.52°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

2. ☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.60°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.63°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

4. ☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.61°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

5. ♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.30°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

6. ⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.97°

   The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
