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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.15°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.26°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.74°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.73°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.88°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.52°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
