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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
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.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.78°
