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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.00°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.25°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.45°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♂ Mars ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.21°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.69°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.39°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
