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 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 Scorpio · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 8 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.35°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.64°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.51°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.12°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.22°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
