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 Aries · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ 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 Libra · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the part that operates without being watched.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.09°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♀ Venus · opposition, orb 0.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.33°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.34°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
