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
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
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 Scorpio · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.11°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 0.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.54°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.93°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 2.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
