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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.03°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.73°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.62°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.11°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.84°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
