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
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 Cancer · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ 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 Cancer · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.07°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.63°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.18°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
