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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
