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 3
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 Leo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
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 Gemini · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.00°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.68°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.62°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.90°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.91°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.80°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
