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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.10°
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.
☽ Moon ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.00°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
♆ Neptune ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.13°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.

The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
