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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
