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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.36°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.26°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.70°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.97°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.61°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.81°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
