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
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 Gemini · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 1
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 Leo · house 1 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 4
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 Taurus · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.60°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.71°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♀ Venus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.12°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.70°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
