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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the daily traffic of information.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.26°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.45°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.44°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.85°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.29°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.73°
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.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
