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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.05°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.69°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.63°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.63°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
