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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.60°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.65°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.77°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.93°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.53°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
