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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.19°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.29°
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.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.45°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.82°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.35°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.61°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
