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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the part that operates without being watched.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
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.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.09°
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.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.64°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.73°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.64°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.77°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.19°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
