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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 11
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 wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 1.84°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.16°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.67°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.59°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 2.20°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
