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 Cancer · house 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.93°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.09°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.28°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.54°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
