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 Libra · house 9

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

2. ☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 2

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

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 10

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Libra · house 9

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

5. ♂ Mars in Virgo · house 8

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

   In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 8

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

   In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

9. ♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 10

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

10. ♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

11. ☊ True Node in Taurus · house 4 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

The tightest aspects

1. ♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.02°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

2. ♅ Uranus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.37°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

3. ⚷ Chiron ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.40°

   The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

4. ☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.53°

   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.

5. ☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.57°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.69°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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