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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the public record of a life.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.39°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.82°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.94°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.23°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
