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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 5 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.79°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.94°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
