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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.12°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.31°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.57°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.68°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.89°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
