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
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
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 Virgo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
