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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.

Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.

♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.01°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.08°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.10°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.09°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
