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 Aquarius · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.35°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.89°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☊ True Node ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.66°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.29°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.96°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.56°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
