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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.

In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 7
How you go after what you want.

♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

♅ Uranus in Leo · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.

In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
