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 Sagittarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ 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.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the daily traffic of information.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6
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 routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the public record of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.60°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.81°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 1.25°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.46°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
