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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1
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 Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.11°
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 ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.22°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.33°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.68°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.90°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.91°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
