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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.47°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.60°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.89°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.96°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.58°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
