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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1
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 bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.10°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.35°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.46°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.55°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.48°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.74°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
