Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Virgo · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.03°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.08°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.23°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.24°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.77°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.35°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
