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 Gemini · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ 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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ 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 Cancer · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.35°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.13°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
