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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the public record of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.45°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.63°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.71°
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.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.14°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.23°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
