☉ Sun in Leo · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
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.

♀ Venus in Virgo · house 8
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.

♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
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.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

Where the edges go soft.

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
