Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Libra · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the part that operates without being watched.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.25°
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.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.43°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.50°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
