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 Gemini · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ 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 carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
