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 Libra · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 9 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ 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 Gemini · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.05°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.51°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 2.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 2.38°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 2.71°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
