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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.00°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.37°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.83°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.99°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.20°
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.
