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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.19°
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.
☽ Moon ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.98°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.67°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 2.00°
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.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 2.08°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
