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 Cancer · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 9 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the public record of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 8
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 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.09°
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.
♂ Mars ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.28°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.81°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.87°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
