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
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9 ℞
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9
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 what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
