AReading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Virgo · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.10°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.24°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.64°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 1.75°
