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
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 Gemini · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.01°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.06°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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 ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.40°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.83°
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.
