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
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
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 Taurus · house 10
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.86°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.94°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.80°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.22°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.73°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.14°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
