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 Libra · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.62°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.43°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.69°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
