Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ 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 Cancer · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ 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.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.26°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.44°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.66°
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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.10°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
