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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 4
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.22°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.61°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.91°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.62°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.47°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
