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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.

♀ 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 carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Cancer · house 3

⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.

What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.44°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.66°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 2.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.08°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.30°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 2.03°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
