A
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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3 ℞
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 near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.10°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.36°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.56°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.02°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.92°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.38°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
