A
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 Capricorn · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ 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 indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.02°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.14°
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.
☽ Moon ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
