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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 9
How you go after what you want.

♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 4
Where you want more room.

The strict teacher you thank later.

Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.

At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.36°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.42°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.53°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.66°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
