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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.20°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.50°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.57°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.77°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.80°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
