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.

1. ☉ 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.

2. ☽ 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.

3. ☿ 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.

4. ♀ Venus in Leo · house 1

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

5. ♂ Mars in Taurus · house 10

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

   In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 10

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

   At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

7. ♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Aries · house 9 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

   In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

   In bearing and first impression.

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

11. ☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

The tightest aspects

1. ♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.10°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

2. ☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.13°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

3. ♅ Uranus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.15°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

4. ♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.30°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

   The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

5. ♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.40°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

6. ☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.57°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
