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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ 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 Pisces · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.29°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.32°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.00°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.71°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.

The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
