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 Cancer · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.05°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.33°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.38°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.61°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
