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.

  1. Sun in Libra · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 6

    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.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Neptune · opposition, orb 0.20°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  2. Pluto Chiron · trine, orb 0.28°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.68°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Moon True Node · square, orb 1.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  5. True Node AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.85°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.

  6. Sun Moon · trine, orb 1.25°

    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.
