Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Virgo · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.27°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.31°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.75°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.49°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
