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 Leo · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.29°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.28°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.52°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.53°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.81°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
