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
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 Gemini · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 8
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
⚷ 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 Pisces · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.52°
