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 2

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

   In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

2. ☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 4

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

3. ☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 2

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

4. ♀ Venus in Libra · house 12

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

5. ♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1

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

   In bearing and first impression.

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 12

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

8. ♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Aries · house 6 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 7 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 10

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

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

The tightest aspects

1. ☉ Sun ◻ ☽ Moon · square, orb 0.13°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.

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

2. ♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.51°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

   The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

3. ♂ Mars ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.01°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

   The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

4. ☽ Moon △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.04°

   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.

5. ♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.13°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

6. ♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.52°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.
