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 8
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.

In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 3 ℞
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.

♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
