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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.09°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☽ Moon · square, orb 1.28°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.29°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.92°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
