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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.00°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.96°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.91°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.90°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 2.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
