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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.25°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.17°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.85°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.14°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 1.39°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.50°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
