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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.04°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.09°
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.
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.53°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.69°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 2.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 2.21°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
