Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 7
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 Scorpio · house 9
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
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.33°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.58°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
