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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
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 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.12°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.29°
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.
♇ Pluto ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.31°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.93°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.01°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
