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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.14°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.31°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.66°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.72°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.51°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
