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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 10
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 top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 9
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 far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.

♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞

At the threshold, before anything is said.

In the public record of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.

⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

♀ Venus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.51°
