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
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 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.18°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.39°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 1.45°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.50°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
