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
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 Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.43°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.56°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.72°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.00°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.06°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
