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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2
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 resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 11
How you go after what you want.
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.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 8
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.07°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.91°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.27°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.33°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.84°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
