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 Libra · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.33°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.14°
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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.80°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.70°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 2.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.56°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
