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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
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 routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.01°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.27°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.48°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.00°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.99°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.64°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
