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.

1. ☉ Sun in Libra · house 4

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

2. ☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

   In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

3. ☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

4. ♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 4

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

5. ♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 5

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 10 ℞

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

   At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

   In the foundations, where the line comes from.

8. ♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

   In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

9. ♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

10. ♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

11. ☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 7 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

The tightest aspects

1. ♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.06°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

2. ☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.12°

   The drive to be someone in particular 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.

3. ♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.36°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

4. ☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.85°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

5. ♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.78°

   The pull toward what has no edges 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.

6. ☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.84°

   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.
