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
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 8
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.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 8
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.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
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.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
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.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects

☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.02°
