CReading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Libra · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.38°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.89°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.90°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.31°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.75°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 2.05°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
