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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.51°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.69°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.89°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

♀ Venus ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.43°
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.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
