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 Pisces · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
