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 Taurus · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 11
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.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.67°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.10°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♆ Neptune △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.96°
The pull toward what has no edges 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 ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.84°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.46°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
