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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.18°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.33°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.67°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.50°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
