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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.

In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
