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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, 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.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.71°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.87°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.95°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.77°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.79°
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.
