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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.43°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.93°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.63°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.13°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.58°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 3.26°
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.
