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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
