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 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.

⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.22°

☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 2.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.78°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 2.98°

The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
