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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.09°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.42°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.54°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.49°
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.
☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.14°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.86°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
