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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
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 Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.10°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.69°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.16°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.50°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.07°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
