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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 4
What makes you feel safe.

At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 1

What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
