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
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7 ℞
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7 ℞
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.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.21°

♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.25°
