Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ 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 modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.21°

♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.62°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.57°
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 △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.05°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.83°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
