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 Taurus · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.56°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.40°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 2.27°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
