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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1
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 bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.37°
