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 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 8 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8
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 the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.30°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.42°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.79°
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.
