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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.10°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.78°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.65°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.72°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.93°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
