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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.04°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.25°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.46°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.56°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.81°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.70°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
