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 Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.19°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.02°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.08°
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 △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.31°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
