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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.51°
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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.88°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
