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 Libra · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♃ 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 Scorpio · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.29°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.37°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.78°
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.

The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
