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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 6 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 3
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 near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
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 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.09°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.47°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.45°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.53°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.28°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.14°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
