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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 1 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 1

In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.45°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.72°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.72°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.17°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.52°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
