Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♀ 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 Virgo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.04°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.08°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.10°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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 ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
