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 Gemini · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 4 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 4
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.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 2
How you go after what you want.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.

In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.

In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 9

The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.10°
