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 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
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 Pisces · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12

⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.

In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
