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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 4 ℞
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 root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 4 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.56°

☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.66°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
