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 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.08°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.14°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.23°
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.
☽ Moon ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.74°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.77°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
