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 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.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.98°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.76°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.43°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.13°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
