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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ 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 Pisces · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 9 ℞
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.11°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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 ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.34°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.52°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.97°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.05°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
