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 Leo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.02°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.25°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.30°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.64°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
