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 Pisces · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ 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 Scorpio · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 4 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
⚷ 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 Virgo · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 0.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.25°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.65°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.78°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.96°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
