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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.09°

♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.63°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
