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 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12
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 part that operates without being watched.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♇ Pluto in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.85°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.66°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.60°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 2.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 2.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
