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 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 12
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 Capricorn · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.34°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♀ Venus · opposition, orb 0.98°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.52°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 2.07°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.76°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
