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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.02°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.20°
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.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.47°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.74°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 2.39°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
