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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.06°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.28°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.69°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.75°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.97°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
