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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 11
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 Gemini · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.10°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.47°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.74°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.93°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚸ Lilith △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.03°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.16°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
