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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.78°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.64°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.22°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.27°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.54°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
