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 Leo · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.

In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.05°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.19°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.36°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.27°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
