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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.02°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♅ Uranus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.56°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.94°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.69°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.45°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
