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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 8
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.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.24°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.15°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.77°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
