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 5

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. 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 weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 5

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 5

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 5

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 9

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 6

    The urge to break something that still works.

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

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 8

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Pluto · opposition, orb 0.18°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mars Uranus · sextile, orb 0.20°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.91°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Pluto · square, orb 1.20°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  5. Moon Mercury · trine, orb 1.27°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.

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

  6. Moon Venus · square, orb 1.38°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
