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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.

♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Taurus · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.28°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.10°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
