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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.33°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

What was refused, and refuses in turn 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 △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.98°
