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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.

In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 6
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.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
Where the edges go soft.

☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.01°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.21°

♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.66°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.59°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
