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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
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 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.52°

☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.84°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.79°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
