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 Taurus · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ 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 Leo · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.41°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.14°
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.
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.63°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.55°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.48°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.70°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
