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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.39°
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 ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.68°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.67°
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.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.71°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.48°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
