AAReading
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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 1 ℞
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 bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.33°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.96°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.99°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.34°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.95°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 2.54°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
