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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.04°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.69°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.14°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.27°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
