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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.12°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.28°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☊ True Node △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.37°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.74°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
