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 Pisces · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
