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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 9 ℞
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the things done because they are wanted.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.15°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.51°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.27°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
