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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ 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 Sagittarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.89°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 2.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 2.26°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 2.41°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.17°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.87°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
