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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.04°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.19°

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.48°

☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.48°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
