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
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.12°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.82°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.89°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.62°
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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.85°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
