Reading
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 Virgo · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 1 ℞
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
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 Leo · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.24°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.75°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
