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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.09°
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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.31°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.33°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.93°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.99°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
