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 Libra · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.16°
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.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.07°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.73°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.89°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.79°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
