AReading
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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ☽ Moon · square, orb 0.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.16°
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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.43°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.47°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.96°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 2.32°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
