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
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
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.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.20°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.48°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.71°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.77°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.97°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
