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.

  1. 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.

  2. Moon in Leo · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 12

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 1

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 9

    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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 5

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 11

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 8

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    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.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter True Node · opposition, orb 0.25°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  2. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.61°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. True Node Chiron · sextile, orb 0.36°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 0.95°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  5. Mars True Node · conjunction, orb 1.37°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  6. Mars Chiron · sextile, orb 1.01°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
