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
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 Sagittarius · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 4
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.33°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.76°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.96°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.09°
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.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.30°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.30°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
