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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.12°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.45°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.81°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.70°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
