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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.15°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.29°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.03°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
