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.

1. ☉ Sun in Libra · house 2

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

2. ☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 5

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

3. ☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

4. ♀ Venus in Libra · house 1

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

5. ♂ Mars in Cancer · house 11

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 10

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

   In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

7. ♄ Saturn in Leo · house 12

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

8. ♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 3

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

9. ♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

10. ♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

11. ☊ True Node in Libra · house 2 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 8 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

The tightest aspects

1. ☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.10°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

2. ♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.57°

   The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

   The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

3. ♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.39°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

4. ♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.67°

   What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

5. ☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.96°

   The drive to be someone in particular 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.

6. ☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.86°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
