Reading

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.14°

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.25°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.36°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.28°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
