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 Aries · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2
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 resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.04°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.57°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.67°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 0.98°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.93°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.03°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
