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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 9 ℞
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

☊ True Node in Aries · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.30°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♅ Uranus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.26°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.37°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.56°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
