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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 4
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.72°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.71°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.22°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.86°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
