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
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 5 ℞
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Libra · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12 ℞

In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.12°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.20°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.73°
