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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

Where things are held in common, and where they end.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 8
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
