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 Aquarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ 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 Virgo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.25°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.45°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.54°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.79°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.28°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.98°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
