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 Leo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 2 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.22°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.37°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.69°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.59°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.95°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.47°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
