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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 11 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.02°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.62°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.22°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.47°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
