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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.09°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.40°

♄ Saturn ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.37°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.52°
