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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9 ℞
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.08°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.14°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.60°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.88°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.35°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.81°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
