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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9 ℞
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.18°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.87°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.98°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.87°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.16°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
