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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.43°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.55°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.86°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.35°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.74°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.90°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
