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 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 Capricorn · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12 ℞
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 11
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.92°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.83°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.37°
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.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.06°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.33°
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.
