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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.69°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.77°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.02°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.47°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.37°
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.
