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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ 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 warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.04°
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.
♇ Pluto ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.28°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.27°
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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.86°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.17°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

☿ Mercury ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.90°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
