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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3 ℞
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 the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.06°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.29°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 1.30°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.71°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 2.04°
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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 2.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
