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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ 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 Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 4
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.93°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.32°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 1.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.72°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
