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 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 Capricorn · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.54°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.60°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.72°
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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.02°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.16°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
