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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.88°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 1.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.63°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

♇ Pluto ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 2.22°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
