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 Sagittarius · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.08°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.30°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.38°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.40°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.51°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
