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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 4
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.74°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.56°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.80°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.65°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.54°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
