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 Gemini · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 8
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.23°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.79°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.84°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.

♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
