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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.28°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.44°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.00°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.77°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
