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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 9 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.10°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.25°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.64°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

☽ Moon ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
