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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 8 ℞
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 joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 9
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.05°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.11°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.32°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.45°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.62°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
