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 Cancer · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 1
