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 Gemini · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2
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 resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.05°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.15°
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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.25°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.29°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.63°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.95°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
