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 Leo · house 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.03°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.12°
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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.15°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.23°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.35°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.54°
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.
