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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 1
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.80°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.23°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.96°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.34°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.60°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
