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 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 Virgo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 4 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 4 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ 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 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.31°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.97°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.13°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.35°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.47°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
