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 Aquarius · house 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 11
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.23°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.43°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.85°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.67°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.13°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.00°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
