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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 11
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.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.50°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.62°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.74°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.02°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.12°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
