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 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
