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 Aries · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11
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 wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.43°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.89°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.63°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.91°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 2.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 2.73°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
