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
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
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.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.09°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.31°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.39°
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.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.40°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
