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
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 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.44°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.00°
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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.90°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.91°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.92°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
