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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.13°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.54°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.39°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.81°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
