Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.01°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.24°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.34°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.53°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.54°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.08°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
