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 Cancer · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
☿ 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 Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
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 Taurus · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 12
Where you want more room.
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 Leo · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.10°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.73°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.57°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.98°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.15°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
