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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.34°

⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.36°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
