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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.32°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.42°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.37°
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.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.67°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.88°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
