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 Sagittarius · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 7
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.19°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.33°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.89°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.29°
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.
