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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 8
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 Cancer · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 9
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 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the public record of a life.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.56°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.94°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.76°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 2.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 2.34°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 2.54°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
