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 Aquarius · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 12
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 the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.11°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.24°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.10°

☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.34°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
