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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♄ 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 Virgo · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.19°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.38°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.69°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.74°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.91°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
