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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the daily traffic of information.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.33°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

Neither can act without the other coming along.
