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
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 4
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.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 4
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.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.13°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.10°
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.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.18°
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.
⚸ Lilith △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.19°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.28°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.59°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
