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 3

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

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

2. ☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 9

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

3. ☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

4. ♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

   Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 5

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

7. ♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 2

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

8. ♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

   In the part that operates without being watched.

9. ♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

10. ♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3

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

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

11. ☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

The tightest aspects

1. ♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.36°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

2. ☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.03°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.85°

   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.

4. ☽ Moon △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.39°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

5. ♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.49°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

6. ☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.16°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
