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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 9 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
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 Pisces · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.11°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.56°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.57°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.07°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.03°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
