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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.05°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.18°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.51°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.69°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.28°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
