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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the public record of a life.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.93°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.27°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.88°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.27°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.54°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.97°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
