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
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 Leo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.22°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.18°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.33°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
