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 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.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ 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.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.14°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☽ Moon · square, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.44°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.54°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.05°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.89°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
