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
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 Gemini · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
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 Libra · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.42°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.73°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.76°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.20°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.49°
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.
⚸ Lilith ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.74°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
