AReading
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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 12 ℞
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 part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.11°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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 · sextile, orb 0.14°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.48°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.59°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.94°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
