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 Virgo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 5 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.17°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.48°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.75°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.98°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
