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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.11°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.70°
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.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.59°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.81°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.44°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.70°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
