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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.24°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.39°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.91°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.72°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.96°
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 △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.40°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
