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 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 11 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.25°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.17°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.12°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.46°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.93°
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.
