Reading
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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.43°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.39°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.73°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.29°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.72°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
