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 Virgo · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ 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 Gemini · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
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 restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.05°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.20°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.66°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.98°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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 △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.93°
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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
