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 Virgo · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 6
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.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.18°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.65°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.71°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.94°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.26°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.36°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
