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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.02°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.09°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.19°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.36°
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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.29°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
