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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ 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 Leo · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.97°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.15°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.32°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 1.85°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 2.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 2.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
