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
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 1
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.28°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.33°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.45°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.18°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.03°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
