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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.01°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.68°
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.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.76°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.56°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

☽ Moon ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 1.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
