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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 8
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.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 9
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.84°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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 0.78°
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.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.15°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
