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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.08°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.15°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.58°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.59°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.45°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 2.05°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
