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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7
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.

☊ True Node in Gemini · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.34°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.53°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
