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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.34°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.81°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.99°
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.
♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 2.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.78°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
