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 Leo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.

♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.

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

⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

The tightest aspects

The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.75°
