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
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 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.56°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.49°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.48°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.44°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
