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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9 ℞
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
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 wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 11
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.46°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.70°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.57°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.94°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.15°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
