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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.18°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.77°
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.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.68°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.98°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
