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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 10 ℞
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the public record of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the public record of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.07°
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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.10°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.22°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.32°
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.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.14°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
