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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
How you go after what you want.

♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
