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 Leo · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.24°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.36°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.38°

♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.47°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

The drive to be someone in particular 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.
