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.

  1. Sun in Leo · house 10

    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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 10

    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.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 11

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 9

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 8

    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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 10

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the public record of a life.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 5

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Neptune · sextile, orb 0.19°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.48°

    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.

  3. Saturn Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.78°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus Uranus · opposition, orb 1.27°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Jupiter Saturn · sextile, orb 0.98°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  6. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.81°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
