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 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.17°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.50°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.21°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.23°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.92°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.92°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
