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 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 6 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects

☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.99°
