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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.31°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.54°
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.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.91°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.85°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.94°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
