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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 11 ℞
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.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 11
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.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 10
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.65°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.08°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.70°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 1.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.22°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
