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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.39°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.95°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
