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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.02°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.26°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.73°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.95°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.90°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
