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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 10 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the public record of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.33°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.62°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
