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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
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 Pisces · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.08°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
