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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9
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 what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♀ Venus · opposition, orb 0.65°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.58°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.81°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.12°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 2.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
