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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.05°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.36°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.70°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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 ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.75°
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.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.53°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.02°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
