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 Scorpio · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ 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 Leo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
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.

The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.72°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.89°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.77°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.21°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
