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 Aries · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12 ℞
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.31°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.73°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 2.04°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.95°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.95°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
