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 Libra · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.02°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

☽ Moon ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.14°
