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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, 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.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.60°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.78°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.00°
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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.28°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
