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
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.17°
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.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.37°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 0.84°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.67°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
