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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.27°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.18°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.33°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.52°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.75°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
