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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 12
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.43°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.49°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.57°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
