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 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.09°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.34°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.36°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.96°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.09°
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.
⚸ Lilith △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.77°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
