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 Sagittarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.13°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.59°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.72°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.52°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
