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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ 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 diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
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 Gemini · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♇ 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 Leo · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.65°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.92°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.98°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.54°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.69°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
