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
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 Taurus · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.09°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.62°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.97°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.15°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.87°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 · square, orb 2.32°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
