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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 9
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 far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.23°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.44°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.28°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.76°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
