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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.35°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♅ Uranus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.47°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.18°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
