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
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
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 Scorpio · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.10°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.36°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.15°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.12°
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.
