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 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.13°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 1.05°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 2.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.96°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 2.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
