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 11

The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1
How you go after what you want.

In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.06°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.40°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.59°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.59°
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.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.82°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 2.09°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
