☉ Sun in Virgo · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

☿ Mercury in Libra · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.

In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 8
How you go after what you want.

In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3 ℞
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.

⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
