AAReading
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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
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 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.31°
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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.63°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.64°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.93°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.34°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
