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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.01°
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 ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.05°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.12°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.18°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.19°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
