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 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 10

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 9

    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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 3

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 9

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 7

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

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

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune True Node · conjunction, orb 0.22°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  2. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.32°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Neptune Lilith · sextile, orb 0.32°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Chiron Lilith · sextile, orb 0.33°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.66°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  6. Venus Saturn · sextile, orb 0.61°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
