AReading
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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4
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 root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
Where you want more room.
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 Leo · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.06°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.17°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.44°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.38°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.58°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.72°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
