Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Cancer · house 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

Where things are held in common, and where they end.

The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.04°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.09°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.38°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.33°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.43°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.68°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
