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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5
Where the edges go soft.

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.62°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.55°

☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.09°

☊ True Node △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.94°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.62°

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
