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.

1. ☉ Sun in Leo · house 2

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

2. ☽ Moon in Libra · house 3

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

3. ☿ Mercury in Leo · house 1

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.

4. ♀ Venus in Cancer · house 1

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

   In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

5. ♂ Mars in Leo · house 1

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

   In bearing and first impression.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

   In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

8. ♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

   In bearing and first impression.

9. ♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

   In the daily traffic of information.

10. ♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

11. ☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 7 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 7 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

1. ♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.17°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

2. ☿ Mercury ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.44°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

   The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

3. ☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.73°

   The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

4. ☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.56°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.60°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

   Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

6. ☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.57°

   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.
