Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
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 Virgo · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.31°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.35°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.46°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.76°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.48°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
