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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the public record of a life.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.34°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.02°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.82°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.14°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.09°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
