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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 3
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
