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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.15°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.02°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.96°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
