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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 6 ℞
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 9
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.07°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.70°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.77°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.84°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.17°
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.
