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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.25°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.55°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.40°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 2.21°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 2.46°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 2.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
