Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.14°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.25°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.57°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.52°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.46°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.15°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
