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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 0.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.77°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 1.16°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.34°
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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
