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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 8
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.17°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.64°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 0.83°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.20°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
