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 Scorpio · house 2

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 2

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  8. 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.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 5

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Neptune · square, orb 0.03°

    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.

  2. Pluto True Node · trine, orb 0.06°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  3. Venus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.08°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.17°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Pluto · square, orb 0.35°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  6. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.39°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
