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.

  1. Sun in Leo · house 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 10

    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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. 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.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 5

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.50°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  3. Moon AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.62°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  4. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 0.49°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Pluto · square, orb 1.00°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  6. Venus Saturn · square, orb 0.90°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
