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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the daily traffic of information.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.57°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.64°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.47°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.54°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
