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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.06°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.13°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.19°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.74°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.57°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
