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 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.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 3 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.00°
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.
♀ Venus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.23°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.20°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.66°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.71°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.91°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
