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
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 Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.16°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.51°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.67°
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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.60°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.77°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.48°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
