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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.10°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.65°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.06°
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.
♆ Neptune ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.18°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.89°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.28°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
