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
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.35°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.40°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.50°
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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.61°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
