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 Aries · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.

♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.15°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.21°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.99°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
