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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the daily traffic of information.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the things done because they are wanted.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.46°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.66°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.77°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.85°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.93°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
