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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.42°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.96°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.95°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.12°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.01°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.44°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
