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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 7 ℞
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.08°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
⚷ Chiron △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.18°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.99°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.82°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.98°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.69°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
