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 Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
