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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 2

♄ Saturn in Aries · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.

In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.

In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
