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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.

♀ Venus in Libra · house 7

Where you want more room.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.13°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.22°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.37°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.59°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.71°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
