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 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
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 indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.28°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.35°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.62°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.20°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.39°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
