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 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.08°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☊ True Node ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.23°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.84°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.63°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.37°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
