Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Cancer · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.00°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.20°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.52°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.58°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
