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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ 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 Leo · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ 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 by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
