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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.28°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.70°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.01°
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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.32°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
